This falls under the "because stuff happens, that's why" file.  About a week and a half ago, my computer decided it needed a new lease on life (2 year old that it was) and would not recover after a fateful encounter with Microsoft update.  All of the pictures that I had on it. . .and there were quite a few, are gone.  I had to factory redo the little squirt to get it up and working.  So, the next while will be reshooting pictures for the book I was doing on My Fair Lady line of jewelry. 

I also revamped my blog--so I hope it is less busy and far more relaxing. .  .

And you, what plans for Christmas do you have?  Inquiring minds. . .
